Huntington Edition: Black Sheep Burrito & Brews

When I was in Huntington for the beer festival, I stopped by Black Sheep with new/old bff +Chris J for some hipster burritos. Black Sheep has a location in Charleston that I have visited, but I was pumped for the original.

It was packed. Wall to wall filled with people. And lots of cool art. The brunch menu is filled with burritos you wouldn't expect (kind of like Black Bear) and local beer.

The burrito that caught my eye was the brisket: dijon glazed, Texas-style smoked brisket and house sweet slaw, blueberry bbq sauce and house-made pickle. Plus a side of chipotle sweet potato salad.

The burrito was pretty good. The blueberry bbq sauce had kind of sunk to the bottom of the burrito, but once I realized that, I tore it apart so I could have a little in each bite. Then, it was pretty awesome. Lots of flavor - and unique flavor, at that. Moist meat, crunchy slaw. All around pretty good.

And the potato salad was awesome. I love a sweet potato salad, and this had just the slightest tiny bit of kick. Delish.
